As we do every week, we asked you to identify a mystery shifter’s vehicular origin. An overwhelming majority of those who ventured a correct guess, with the consensus that it was a BMW E30 3-series, and probably a coupe. The first commenter to respond, Shaka, was correct and will receive a Save the Manuals sticker and magnet as a reward.

This particular E30 is a two-door 318i that we tested back in July of 1983. The four-cylinder 3er hit 60 in a leisurely-by-today’s-standards 9.6 seconds. Compared to today’s 101-hp cars, though, it’s pretty good.
